N2  - In an era of almost boundless individual opportunities, vulnerability, paradoxically, has gained significant attention.  Undoubtedly this book significantly contributes to the debates on this very complex phenomenon, dealing with both the specific aspects of vulnerable individuals and groups’ legal positions, as well as presenting the concept of vulnerability in international law. This book brings together scholars engaging with legal and actual positions of women, children and other vulnerable persons. Authors in detail discuss – among others - such issues as: political violence, motherhood in prison, age assessing of foreigners, infanticide or exclusion of the elderly.  It will be of interest for academics in the fields of law and sociology, as well as vulnerability-oriented practitioners.
